Why is Tyrion Lannister Suddenly Losing Ground in Game of Thrones?

Fans of HBO’s TV show Game of Thrones should know that a certain dwarf skilled with words made a big part of the story’s dynamics. Tyrion Lannister came a long way since the first season when he was just the brother of Cersei and Jamie Lannister. He has always been one of the brightest players in the Game of Thrones. Until recently, he was very cunning, had a way with words and was able to get himself out of almost any situation. However, in those recent episodes, something changed in Tyrion Lannister. He has been failing at advising Daenerys Targaryen as her Hand and his plans have proven to be a big mess. The Mother of Dragons lost almost all of her allies because of his ideas and she even told Tyrion this. Now, the question is, what happened?

The cunning nature of Tyrion Lannister

Tyrion is now the Hand of the Queen and he should have profited greatly from this privilege. Now is the time to take revenge on his siblings. Also, to help the land of Westeros have a better ruler. Instead, he delivers only failures and even Daenerys is a little sick of his clever ideas. It’s important to remember that over the course of the seven seasons, Tyrion avoided being thrown out of the Moon Door, something that not many accomplish.

The fall of the dwarf

Also, he changed the minds of the members of Vale’s tribes and actually made them protect him. As for his late father, he killed him during a very vulnerable moment after he appointed him Hand of the King in King’s Landing. During the Battle at Blackwater Bay, he played the most important role. Finally, he managed to become the most trusted advisor of Daenerys Targaryen after being treated as a slave.

That was one of the last moments of glory for the Lannister dwarf. Euron Greyjoy destroyed the Ironborn and the Dornish fleets. They were supposed to take King’s Landing after he convinced Dany to send them there. Then, he decided to send the Unsullied army to Casterly Rock while Jamie occupied Highgarden and killed another ally. All in all, it seems like Tyrion Lannister might only be good at using his tongue, not at taking crucial decisions. He may be a clever player, but he may not be an extremely intelligent strategist. The future episodes will probably clarify his fate. Also, they will decide where he’s standing, now that he delivered a lot of failures.
